Centralized CUPS Print Server Does Not Print Jobs From Client RHEL System

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When a server tries to print via CUPS on a separate machine, the print job appears to go through with no issues, moving from the machine doing the printing to the designated CUPS server, where it appears briefly in the print queue and claims to print successfully, but it never reaches the printer.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6, 7, and 8
  • Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.4.3, 1.6.2, and 2.2.6
